The server was set to a local one, I changed it to Main Server and it seems to work.
Thanks

Do you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled?
System, Administration, Update Manager or Synaptic. Settings, Repositories, Ubuntu Software. Make sure you have multiverse and universe ticked. For other popular software, you may need to add additional repositories, such as medibuntu.

If you think it may be a repository problem, here is the ubuntu wiki link:
